2013 Hood Canal Spot Shrimp Season

Each May, the Hood Canal becomes a boating Mecca, as anglers from across the Pacific Northwest descend upon this arm of Puget Sound in search of its sweetest saltwater prize, the Hood Canal Spot Shrimp. Each year, the Hood Canal is opened to the harvest of Spot Shrimp (also called Spot Prawns). The Hood Canal has long been known for its large Spot Shrimp, plenty of easy limits, and a reliable season that for years has given shrimpers more open days than other areas of Puget Sound.
